Why commodities
What physical markets add to a portfolio
Supply-driven volatility
Energy and grain prices are set by weather, output and inventories — factors largely independent of the equity cycle.
Both directions, same terms
Every commodity CFD can be sold short with identical margin and spread to a long position. No borrow fee, no locate.
Commodities FAQ
Questions about commodity CFDs
What is the difference between cash and futures-based commodity CFDs?
Cash CFDs (gold, silver, platinum, palladium, WTI and Brent cash) have no expiry and are financed overnight like forex. Futures-based CFDs track a specific contract month and are rolled to the next month before expiry; no overnight financing applies, but a cash adjustment offsets the price gap at roll.
When does FBGM24 roll futures CFDs?
Roll dates are published on the platform at least fourteen days in advance. Rolls happen after the close on the announced date. Open positions are carried over automatically with a P&L adjustment equal to the difference between the expiring and new contract prices.
What is the spread on gold?
Typically 0.12 USD per ounce on Meridian tier and above, and 0.20 USD on standard tiers, measured during the London and New York sessions. Spreads widen during the Asian session and around US data.
Can I trade commodities at the weekend?
No. Commodity markets follow their underlying exchange schedule and close on Friday evening. Digital currencies are the only asset class quoted seven days a week.
